There are patches to the HylaFAX Software ( I can never remember where
to upper case that word <g> ) that permit a command line argument to 
faxrm to allow an "administrator" to remove other peoples faxes.

I am not sure what the status of Patch Level 3 is, but I am pretty sure
that if people are really interested, the HylaFAX mailing list archive 
( if there is one ) will have the patches ( www.hylafax.org ).

I remember the patches being submitted, but I did not save them myself.
